Aiven Kafka

Aiven Kafka enables support for topic creation and management using the Kafka protocol. This functionality was first introduced in Kafka 0.10.1.0 and has been gradually taken into use across Kafka compatible tooling. Enabling this functionality makes it easier to Kafka Streams, Kafka KSQL and Kafka Connect as well as other tooling with Aiven Kafka. To control access to topic creation, a new ACL permission level admin has been created. Admin includes readwrite permission, but also includes permissions to create, modify and delete topics over the Kafka protocol.
